A beneficiary is the person (or people), trust or institution that you designate as the recipient of your coverage amount. In Quebec, a beneficiary designation in favour of a spouse is irrevocable unless otherwise stated.
By naming a beneficiary, you will ensure your money will go where you want. This simple move can save your loved one’s time — and money.
When applying online, your beneficiary is automatically designated to your Estate. Once approved for coverage, you will receive a beneficiary form in your Welcome Kit.
Please fill out and sign this form and mail back to Manulife. The beneficiary form is also available online. It’s important to keep track of this information, review annually and update your beneficiary if needed.
Your coverage will start on the date we receive your completed application, provided that:
- You are a resident of Canada and meet the age requirements
- You are insurable on that date in accordance with our underwriting rules; and the first premium due is paid
- When reviewing your application, if we find that you do not qualify for this coverage, we will notify you immediately and refund any premium paid.
If you are considering replacing an existing individual term or permanent insurance policy, we recommend that you contact a SISIP Advisor (CAF members and their families) at 1-800-267-6681 or a Licensed Manulife Advisor at 1-855-834-7030 (all other members of the CFOne community) to compare the features of both plans so that you can decide which one best meets your needs.
A death benefit is the amount paid to your beneficiary if you die while your life insurance plan is in effect. A living benefit is the amount paid to you when you meet certain conditions. For example, you may receive part of your life Insurance death benefit while you are alive if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness with less than 12 months to live.
